Its jointed body and vibra\/paddle tail combine to create double-action motion that draws attention as it cuts through current and still water alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 2 1\/8 inches long and weighing about 1\/16 ounce, this minnow-style grub lands softly on light tackle and small setups. The 10 minnows per bag provide consistent options for back-to-back casts across a day of fishing. This is a smaller version of Slider’s 3 inch double action bass grub, offering the same proven action in a more compact form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe head treatment and soft plastic material allow the body to flex with each retrieve, while the tail wiggles in a lifelike way. The result is a subtle wave along the body paired with a lively tail kick that stays true even at slow retrieves, helping you cover water more efficiently.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey benefits at a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLooks and swims like a real minnow in water, increasing visual appeal in clear or stained water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJointed body plus paddle tail deliver double-action motion for enticing movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight profile suits shallow-water fishing and finesse setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10 minnows per pack ensure multiple setups or days on the water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple rigging options: Slider crappie head, Slider spider head, 1\/16 original Slider head, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmaller version of the 3 inch double action minnow with the same design DNA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow you fish it matters as much as what you rig it with. For a natural glide, try a slow roll near cover or along weed edges, then speed up slightly to trigger an audible or visible response in the tail. A light jig or drop shot rig can keep the minnow hovering in the strike zone, while a Slider crappie head or spider head offers additional lift and tracking when casting into current or wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuggested setups and tactics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigging options: Slider crappie head, Slider spider head, 1\/16 original Slider head, plus more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRetrieval style ideas: slow-twitch, steady retrieve, or occasional pauses to provoke reaction bites\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTarget species and environments: crappie, perch, smallmouth bass; shallow lakes and rivers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn real-use terms, the SMF45 doubles as a versatile attractor in mixed-species angling. Anglers report productive days near structure, over weed beds, and along drop-offs, with the minnow-like silhouette providing a familiar profile to wary fish. Like any lure, success varies with conditions, technique, and timing, so consider the SMF45 as a capable option to add flexible reach to your tackle box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"product-faq-snippet\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: What species is the Slider SMF45 best suited for?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: The minnow-style grub has been used for crappie, perch, smallmouth bass, and other freshwater species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-q\"\u003eQ: How many minnows come in a pack and what's the size?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-a\"\u003eA: Each bag contains 10 minnows, measuring about 2 1\/8 inches long and 1\/16 oz in weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Slider","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42098288623696,"sku":"B00FPR2YXE","price":37.07,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/9645\/8576\/files\/slider-smf45-double-action-minnow-closeup.jpg?v=1771923503","url":"https:\/\/canadawildco.com\/products\/slider-smf45-double-action-minnow-soft-plastic-grub-for-panfish-bass","provider":"Canada WildCo. | Hunting Gear, Fishing Equipment \u0026 Outdoor Essentials for the Canadian Wild","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
